Hello everybody,
i´m new here and i´m searching for a way to make a SLCD Desire stock.
I wanted to install cyanogen 6, but got a black screen after installing.
because of this i used clockwork recovery to install a custom rom with SLCD support, but now i want to install stock ROM.
Could anybody tell me where to find it? I dont understand everything here, please keep it simple^^
Thank you
From which country/carrier did you get your Desire? That might help.
I don't own a Desire but this thread could be of use:

Thank your for posting this link.
I already fixed my problem.
I used this site hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749551 to fix it, but I had a lot of problems while making the GoldCard.
But I will give some more information for others having this problems.
My gf´s Desire is a German T-Mobile one, buyed yesterday.
Hboot is 0.75, but everybody says it must be higher if its SLCD, but it is wrong.
It really is a SLCD.
Installed was Android 2.1 but i don´t know the exact version number.
I rooted with unrevoked and this was a big mistake. After installing clockwork mod recovery the screen was black in recovery. I seachred long and found the SLCD version, installed it via unrevoked by using custom recovery.
Then installed cyanogen, second mistake. Cyanogen doesn´t support SLCD.
By using recovery installed OpenDesire, worked fine but wasn´t what i wanted.
Made GoldCard about 10 times (didn´t work), then used GoldCardTool and installed RUU from link posted on top.
After a short time of sleep phone wanted to install update to 2.2, working for now.
May i should post a new topic because of hboot 0.75 and SLCD?
Hello there xda-devs!!
I own an htc desire A8181 (amoled i think) and i fell into the temptation to root it. The problem is that i updated OTA into 2.2 froyo and my hboot now is 0.93.00001 on which the unrevoked method wont work (at leat for me it did not, as it showed : "validation error: backup cid is missing" ). I have installed the modified drivers and my desire is unbranded. I was hoping to find a method to root without losing any data or settings and since everyone showed as an alternative hboot downgrade and custom rom, so i thought " what if i downgraded hboot but i did not flash a new rom ", but the question is "is it possible?"
As you may have figured out, i dont know much about rooting/flashing etc, although i have some experience from flashing kaiser and some others, but i am willing to learn. If anyone could give me a hint/link/suggestion or solution to my problem it would be gratefully appreciated
PS thank you in advance and sorry for my english

AFAIK, the latest unrevoked works fine with the 0.93.00001 - quite sure I read this in one of the threads.

Thanks for the quick response! Actually these posts were the first that i read when i first thought of rooting and i believe that i have correctly followed the steps of the how to for the unrevoked (version 3.22 straight from the unrevoked site) and i tried twice on different computers(both running win xp home x86). As for the alternatives on benko's tut, none of them supports OTA 2.2 froyo...
After thought and some reading, I decided that I will downgrade to 2.1, root using unrevoked and then flash to prerooted froyo. Actually, since the point is not to lose settings or data, does anyone know a safe way to back up everything and restore them to the new rom?
I have the same model as you mate and the latest unrevoked worked for me, I downloaded the one straight from their website.

Had you also updated OTA with froyo? If yes then why doesn't it work for me? I am sure that the phone is unbranded. Maybe it's something else and not hboot? My current specs are:
*Hboot:: 0.93.001
*Radio: 5.11.05.27
*Rom: 9.29.405.2 (got the update a week ago)
The only thing that I did not follow in the unrevoked guide, was that I didn't select hboot while loading the drivers, because I could not, no matter how many times I pressed the volume down button.I just waited for it to change to usb plug. Could that be the problem?

Something else I noticed the first time I tried with unrevoked, was that in the revoked window it showed "triumph" for a moment and then it rebooted for the last time and then it showed "validation error..". Strange is that it never showed it again not even on the 2nd or 3rd try...What could that mean?

Thanks for the tip, but this is about BRAVO PVT4 SHIP S-ON while my desire is PVT1 SHIP S-OFF and it says that these are able to root but not flash a Rom, while I can't even root.. and the errors do not match..
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If you're S-OFF now then you don't need to root - if anything you might be already!
As you hadn't said anything about the rest of the HBOOT I thought I'd mention it but I'm on 0.93 and can root with no issues
And what does it mean? I am already root and I don't know it? And why does then the unrevoked method not work and where is the superuser app?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
If the Superuser app isn't there then you're not rooted, so that clears that up...
Go read the S-OFF thread in Development and post a query on there. It sounds like you may have a facotry unlocked bootloader which is extremely rare but best go and confirm it in the forum
Ok. I'm going now. Thank you Eddy and the others for your great help
*forgot to mention: the s off I wrote was after the failed tries with unrevoked(before I hadn't noticed if it was on or off) also the phone was destined to be a demo in a store*

try installing the HTC sync drivers and then remove HTC sync and try again.
If possible switch to Ubuntu and root, its much better.
I have already installed the HTC sync drivers and removed the HTC sync, but I will try reinstalling..You think that through Linux it might succeed?

[edit]: tried again in windows removing reinstalling etc. and in slax live cd. Still no luck as the "validation error: backup cid is mising" wont stop appearing
[Second edit] I'm root now. Followed turkeys' tut
Hi I recently tried using unrevoked 3.22 and it really didnt seem to work as I got a "validation error: backup cid is mising". However after a reboot I found myself in clockworkmod recovery, so that part seemed to work. However straight afterwards I tried to start the phone, I discovered had no access to SD card and any attempt to access phone via USB also gone, it seems Bluetooth is also gone. However I got the SD card back again using FASTBOOT, has anyone got any ideas how I could possibly get USB back?
Hello cletus. I may not know the solution to your problem, but usually posting some further info about your device(HBOOT, radio etc) and the exact steps you made before that problem, might help someone that would like to help
I really hope that you find a solution to your problem

Hey there! Found a solution: usb brick fix guide
Hey all,
Just want to know if someone can point me in the right direction.
I am following this guide guide but when it comes round to using the Visionary app it freezes and wont do anything.
I have tried temp rooting from boot and also with the phone fully running but still nothing.
I have not updated it, it is showing as ver. 2.2 despite the notice that the update is available to download.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Have you downgraded the ROM? Visionary only works on build 1.32 Froyo. If you are already on 1.32 then a factory reset normally fixes most Visionary problems.
I take it you mean the ROM that comes with the phone? The android version I have showing is ver. 2.2.1.
If I need to downgrade to ver. 1.32 how would be the best way to go about it?
Sorry of these are noob questions, I have searched all over trying to get the right answer.
Thanks
Have a look here DownGrade and then here Rooting Etc
or
have a look at the Advanced Ace Hack Kit HERE
The advanced ace hack kit has been getting some good reviews in the forums.
Thanks both, I will have a go and see what happens.
Hi guys, coming from desire hd forum. My friend showed me her phone today (htc desire) and said it was rooted + had recovery. But when ever she tried to flash a ROM, it would hang or just boot loop.
Now I've tried everything to get it back to stock, but nothing seems to work. Any help guys?
I've used the search function to see if anyone else has posted this, found nothing, so hoping someone could help me please. Cheers guys!
Hi,
please provide some more info as:
rom?
s-off?
hboot?
recovery?
sd card layout?
helping you is guess work without these
Hey, sorry, i was in a bit of a rush.
I have it solved now, thanks for replying though! .
For anyone else that faced the problem i did, using s-off with alphaRev 1.8, recovery: clockworks mod _ root and no ROM booting, either because bootloop or won't boot. Then downgrade your HBOOT to the bravo stock (in alphaRev site). Instructions given in page.
Then enter fastboot again, run your RUU from HTC and you should be back to stock.
Cheers.
Hi all,
I playing around with my desire bravo and ran in to a problem.
I use this phone temporary since my one x is back for repair.
I am looking for a smooth rom.
I had CM 7.0.2 on cmr2 hboot with s-off
I ran RUU to latest available version.
Now I need to re-root.
The recovery part went fine (after trying a bit with unrevoked).
Now I need root. I added SU.apk (dunno which version exactly) to sd via working stock rom without root.
I want to run file in recovery but it keeps saying "E: Can't mount /sdcard".
I know I can unbrick usb in 4EXT recovery but in CWM I can't
Any help (in plain English please )will be much appreciated cause I am a noob!
Thnx in advance
Ralph
